BUT - my tire bumpers weren't installed correctly either.
Was there an air gap between bumpers and tire? Or something else wrong?

Your post started out reassuring, but then just reinforced my concerns at the end. 😆

Yup that was it

Dealer had installed new wheels and tires with a lift kit, trying to get the manual Bronco off their lot. New offset rims. They did not replace or adjust the spare tire bumpers though and I didn’t know at the time to think to check. There was a very sizeable gap.

Thanks. I can totally see that being the cause.
